X Factor's Tamera On Exit: "It Was A Good Time To Go"

X Factorstar Tamera Foster has stated that she feels "really excited" about her future following her exit from the ITV talent show.

The 16-year old lost out to Luke Friend in yesterday's sing-off (December 1), meaning she narrowly missed out on a place in next weekend's semi-final.

Speaking on The Xtra Factor, Foster said: "I feel like it was a good time to go out.

"I've got this far - now I can go out, go gigging, and we've got the tour soon. So I'm really excited about the future."

She continued: "I think that would be a good idea, because I am young so I need to have that time to try and develop myself and try and find myself in the music industry. So I think that would be quite a good idea."

Tamera - who was judge Nicole Scherzinger's last remaining act - stated that while she "will miss everyone so much", she's backing Luke or Rough Copy to win the series.

Rebecca Ferguson and James Arthur also returned to perform on last night's results show, with J-Arth issuing a public apology following the controversy surrounding his homophobic rap lyrics.
